Flint made up his mind to go back to where the priest was despite losing the video device. He was skeptical about going back for it because he thought that the priest may have picked it up and gone through it.
He tried to put all the speculations behind him to forge ahead with his plans. He arrived at the same spot and was shocked to see that the place looked different. He looked around, searching for the video device but could not find it. It then dawned on him that he may have just stepped into a trap.
As soon as he realized this he made to leave but was surrounded by werewolves ready for a battle. He was in his human form and kept his cool. Then, the priest showed up from behind his slaves clapping his hands.
“Well played…” he commented sarcastically.
Flint stood and watched him in silence; formulating a strategy for his escape in his head.
“I knew you would come back.” He continued and pointed the video device at
The world of the originals was like heaven for Raul. He had started adapting to their way of life and almost forgot his purpose for the visit to the human world. He finally moved to his new apartment with the help of Tom and Heather who assisted him in getting the place. Claire also helped him move. It was a weekend and school was closed for the weekend.Kal was there too, he was moving boxes from the truck into the apartment. It was a small apartment but it had everything anyone would need in a home and most importantly, it was comfortable. Virgil was there too; he was also moving boxes from the truck to the apartment while Heather and Claire did the cleaning and arrangement.Raul and Tom helped with fixing some broken parts in the apartment. It was a full house and by evening, they were famished. They ordered pizza and some drinks to relax and quench their hunger. Raul was with Tom, Heather with Claire while Kal and Virgil were together in one corner of the house.
Raul headed over to Ella’s house early the next day, hours before his resumption time. He was lucky to find her still in her nightdress. She smiled on seeing him at the door looking desperate.“I knew you would come.” She smiled and took a set in the kitchen sipping from her cup of coffee. “Need coffee?”“No thanks; this is important,” Raul replied following her behind. He stood across the kitchen table gazing at her. “Your father said you have some information for me.”She smiled and then reached for the papers on the table which she tossed towards him. He picked it up and scanned through the front page briskly.“What do you see?” she asked in curiosity.”“I see…” he was turning the pages and then paused at the sight of something that looked like Hayley’s picture in one of them.Ella noticed his reaction to the news and was reading his expressio
Flint visited the priest’s lair often since then, this time with some of his slaves as escorts. But he no longer had to hide nor send spies to watch the priest anymore. Flint had it at the back of his mind that the priest was not trustworthy and could betray him at any time as he did Modi so he threaded with care while he was with the priest.The priest in turn knew that he could not trust Flint with his secrets but since they had an agreement and Flint had something he needed so badly, he made it his mission to keep Flint close to him, no matter the cost.Flint had a habit of making himself comfortable anywhere he found himself whether with friends or foes. So he was already comfortable with the priest though he knew nothing about the priest’s plans nor had he seen the slaves in the open field and the object they were building. The priest made sure to hide that part from him.Flint was not ready to be defeated by an original; he detested them and th
Raul arrived home from work that night with Betty. He met Virgil sitting outside the house listening to some music and playing hand-held video games. On seeing him he remembered what Ella had told him the previous day. He allowed Betty into the house while he spoke with Virgil.“Hey Virgil!” he tapped him gently on the shoulder to call his attention. Virgil took off the earpiece and smiled at Raul.“When did you get back?” Raul asked with a straight face.Virgil replied still smiling. “Oh, not too long ago.”“If I asked you what you’ve been up to, would you tell me the truth?” Raul went straight to the point.“Sure brother. What’s going on?” Virgil took off the earpiece, turned off the music, and dropped it on the bench beside him. He knew something was wrong but he didn’t know what it was.“You tell me.” Raul was leaning on the pavement behind Virgil.
Betty still had the thought of Hayley on her mind. She was bent on finding out all about her that she went to a paper shop after leaving Raul’s apartment that morning. She entered the shop and asked the seller for the old papers to go through them. She sat down and scanned through them as carefully as she could.She spent over two hours searching all the papers she was given but did not find anything about Hayley in it. The seller realized she was concentrating on her search for something so vigorously. She approached Betty and asked with a smile.“Something I can assist you with, lady?”Betty gazed at her a little disturbed and replied. “Yes please…” she paused and licked her lips thinking of how best to place her words so she doesn’t appear like a stalker. “I was looking for the paper that carried the news of some mayor who celebrated a reunion with her long-lost sister. Do you happen to know where that particul
Raul arrived home from work, tired and hungry. He’d had a long day at work and needed to order for himself some fast food. So he made a phone call to place the order and decided to hit the shower. He was in the shower when he noticed that someone had entered his house.He could perceive that it was Claire and he called from the bathroom.“Claire, is that you?”“Where are you, Raul? And how did you know it was me?” Claire replied in surprise.“I’m in the shower. What’s going on? What are you doing here, this late?” Raul smiled as he rounded up his bath. “Kal isn’t here now.”“Yeah… I didn’t come to see Kal.” Claire confessed taking a seat in the living room to wait for him. “By the way, where’s everybody?”“They should be back soon. Virgil and Kal are at Tom’s,” he replied as he got out of the bathroom in jeans
Hayley had developed a strong bond with her sister, Kara. Such that she had never enjoyed even while with her brother, Lucas. She had spent such a long time there that she almost forgot about Stan. It has been a few weeks since she moved over to the mayor’s house and she was enjoying all the privileges attached to being the mayor’s family member.Stan on the other hand went on with his life. Though he missed Hayley and called her often, he did not want to get heartbroken again. He decided to take a few days off into the main city area where he spent a few days trying to entertain himself. He walked into a restaurant to get himself some fast food and relax while he was sober. Raul approached him to take his order. Apparently, he had walked into Raul’s workplace.He smiled at Stan and took his order. He somehow felt the need to be close to this particular customer, after all, he was almost done with work for the day. He went on to prepare Stan&rsq
Hayley sat with her sister to dinner. She suddenly thought about Stan and wondered why he had not been taking her calls. She was silent at the table and Kara noticed it.“You’re awfully quiet today; something wrong, little sis?”“Um… nothing serious. I was just thinking about…” Hayley managed a smile.“Stan?” Kara cut in quickly.Hayley exhaled and rolled her eyes. “Please don’t say he’s my boyfriend again.”“But then what is he? He’s your boyfriend if you’re worried about him like this.” Kara argued.“I’m just worried that he may be in trouble. He never misses my call but he’s not been taking it these few days.” Hayley tried to defend herself.“What kind of trouble would a grown man like Stan be in?” Kara teased. “He’s been taking care of himself all these years even without you or hi
